Abraxis told me that I need the Ethernet Router because of the fiber

turn NAT'ing off nothing. I tried the static route but it didn't work.
Either I didn't set up or it was passing any data. Since I can't get
into the CLI of the router it's a bit hard to check.
I spent 5 hours on the phone with Linksys only to be told that the
router I have is for home use and that what I need is more advance
and I need to call the small business line and have them recommend a
route to me. I looked at their small routers and they range from $150
to $350 dollars.
Thanks for the link I will look into it. I am back at work today, was
going to talk to our network engineer, I am but SA and relay on him to
much for networking. Again thanks for all the help. I will that a look
into everything you have said. I have already forwarded some of the
stuff to the ISP to see if they have any advise as well.

Let me explain a bit about my network, I hope this helps and doesn't
confuse everyone. I will change the ip's for safety reason. But you
should be able to follow along. My router is a Linksys, it might be
the problem. It is BEFSR41 Version 4.3. I got in and set it up for
PPPoE with my user id and password. I connect I get the wan ip of
47.216.14.229, Now I give my router the ip of 47.216.17.87 with a
subnet of 255.255.255.240. Now my boxes are on the same
47.216.17.86/28 network. I go in the router and turn off NAT'inng. I
can from my linux box ping 47.219.14.229 but I can't ping any thing
belong it.
Have you tried using the "static route" option? Here AT&T (formerly
Bellsouth) seems to use the exact same setup. You are assigned a
dynamic IP to the WAN and the modem is configured for the static
routes. They use a Netopia ADSL modem and I've found it to be a pain
to use anything else.

The Questions...
Does anyone know of a good cheap DSL Router that I can set my gateway
ip and it will allow all my other ip's to go out, and do PPPoE? I was
told that some people flah linksys routers to get it more use. Does
anyone know what the software is and a link to the page? It's most off
the shelves routers are for people with no static or one. Oh, the
range for the router needs to be in the $50 to $80 range, I might be
able to go as high as $100.
Does anyone have a Linksys BEFSR41 and more that one static IP? Have
you gotten yours to work?
If I can't get this done with router what would it take for my linux
box to be able to do this. It currently has two nic, one is
47.216.17.88/28 and the other is 192.168.65.2/24. Does I need a third
Nic? Would this be wise, would the other computers be able to get out?
The firmware you talk about is called DD-WRT developed primarily by
Sebastian Gottschall (brainslayer) you can check it out at
www.dd-wrt.com One of the more popular routers for that use is the
Linksys WRT54GL, around here it cost approx USD 60. That firmware (and
some of the earlier linksys on the WRT54G series... now they run
something else because they can save 30 cents a router by halving the
RAM) is running Linux and you can manipulate iptables any way you
want. The WRT54GL variant keeps the higher amount of RAM and flash but
even the newer, more crippled, variant can run the basic DD-WRT
firmware. If you are buying a new router I suggest you get the GL
variant.
I spent 5 hours on the phone with Linksys only to be told that the
router I have is for home use and that what I need is more advance
and I need to call the small business line and have them recommend a
route to me. I looked at their small routers and they range from $150
to $350 dollars.
Of course there are other routers that can run the DD-WRT firmware and
there are other firmwares for these broadcom-based routers (such as
OpenWRT, Tomato, etc).
Sorry I can't be of further help I never spent much time getting the
multiple IP working on router other than the one the ISP provides but
it should be possible.... Here is the info I am talking about:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15901 but I think it should be possible
with your current router and getting the static routing setup.... have
you tried to ask the ISP for some pointers?
